Spider Rigging Crappie Pro's n Con's

[@joedaigle8487]

Enjoyed the show. Love spider riggin! Love chasing two or three poles at a time The other fun time is trying to not get hung up all the time. Love to take someone who can’t fish a lot maybe because of certain circumstances outside of their control and watch them laughter and have’n a blast. Thanks

I just got my Sportsman 1710 PFX cammo, i upgraded trolling motor to 70lbs and added a bow fish finder. Now I am looking to fabricate my own spider pole holders for trolling/cat/anchor fishing. I think that I have the bow mounted spider pole holder figured out as well. I will be using the side gunnel on the bow for quick removal and storage. Basically, there will be a receiver mounted and the extension T bar will just splip right into it. My plan on the rear is similar but a little more beefed up with only 3 rod holders on each T bar on the stern. I have the metal and skill, i will just use aluminum rivet nuts for the receiver base bolt on's. Next year I plan on getting the G3 cammo Bimini for shade/rain protection. Wish me well.

Sounds thought out well. Go get em!

[@daviddaigrepont9485]

Excellent explanation. This is why I come to KZbin

[@g3sportsman]

I appreciate that!

[@tfisadog5260]

Really enjoyed your video. I am lovin spider riggin. We are in Texas at LOP for 3 months and catching 1.5 to 2 lb. crappie all day every day Spider Riggin. BnM Buck's poles and Millennium Racks. Can't wait to get to Truman for Spring fishing. Now that I am mastering Spider Riggin I don't have to be there at exact Spawn time.

[@scottmajors5320]

Thanks Scott I really enjoyed your video and appreciate your time

[@boarnold8911]

Great video as always. Started spider rigging about 5years ago and really enjoy it. It is a way to get some good fish on certain days. I also enjoy single polling and crank baiting. I just love crappie fishing.

[@g3sportsman]

Thanks for watching. I agree

[@theCalsfv]

Great video Scott although I've never tried spider rigging it sure looks like an effective way to catch some slabs.

[@zebclark9288]

I spider rig with a 18:60 G3 and use jigs not minnows on 13’ ft b&m rods.

[@JamesWilliams-cy2wg]

great video , I down rig / troll year round n never use minnows , just jigs 1/16 oz jigs , swivel n a haf ounce egg weight - those who'll try it will LOVE it !!!

[@g3sportsman]

Cool. Always good to not have to mess with minnows

[@RA-zl6iw]

Hi Scott, great video. I love to spider rig. I learned it from a guy named Tom Hankins from Indiana. I think you may know him, hehehe. Great guy, great fisherman.

[@g3sportsman]

Tom is a great guy. Can learn a lot from him. Thanks for watching

[@fishin-impossible2992]

Great video Scott

[@cw5003]

I am in Kansas please tell me how to rig a heavy weight in to the jigging game please

[@tvideo1189]

Get rid of the minnows. After decades of testing we catch as many or more on jigs with tube lures. Simplifies everything, not to mention MUCH cheaper than buying minnows. As for rod length, we also found the further you get your lures from the boat (especially in shallow water) the more bites you get. As much as we like to think so, our trolling motors are not silent, neither is the pressure wave pulses generated by the trolling motor prop. Our shortest rods are 14 footers, our longest 21 feet, in between are 18 footers we consider standard. We fish 2 people up front side by side, 5 rods each, and almost always end up at the ramp with more (and better) fish than anyone else that day. And yeah, never get in the boat without that EGO extendable net. :)

[@g3sportsman]

I hear ya. Not a fan of the minnows. Didn’t have longer poles. Had to use what I had and the leaving my Ego in the truck was definitely a senior moment. All in all it was a fun piece to shoot and really enjoyed the crappie supper. Thx for watching and the tips!

[@ccoleman50]

Got to say, I'm a spider rig advocate. I got the fever at Grenada lake and haven't looked back since. Spoiled to live so close to it lol

[@g3sportsman]

And I don’t blame you. Big fish heaven!

[@ccoleman50]

G3 Sportsman yessir! One of the local guides had a 3.42 come out this morning. Stay safe out there!

[@g3sportsman]

Dang!!! Have a great year. Thanks for watching

[@ashleytowson9821]

what size weights do you use and how long is your leaders

[@g3sportsman]

Think I was using 3/8 oz sinker. Leaders are usually about 8-10”

[@davishomestead4147]

Can you use the same length poles or do they have to be different lengths?

[@Rubo7]

Davis Homestead for spider rigging your need at least 14-16' rods. I personally think 16' rods is the way to go from my experience.

[@kennethdavis3155]

What type of orange fishing line is who makes it and what size is it

[@g3sportsman]

Berkley Sensation 10lb. Had for a couple of years. Hopefully they still make. I really like it

[@kennethdavis3155]

G3 Sportsman Thank you so much i will try it out

[@kennethdavis3155]

How do you put your minnow on the hook

[@g3sportsman]

Through the bottom lip up through the top

[@kennethdavis3155]

G3 Sportsman Thank you

[@georgebeyer9611]

How do you install that driftmaster bar up front. Must it be through bolted or can you just use screws?

[@g3sportsman]

Self tapping screws work just fine

[@eddiet2729]

Which model G3 is this? Truman is my home lake and looking to upgrade my first boat to something a bit more serious. Faulkenberry had suggested the sportsman. Never mind I didn’t finish watching the video. Is the 17’ wise enough to have two people up front to spider rig?

[@g3sportsman]

Yes its plenty wide enough. In fact the G3 Sportsman 17 PFX has 3 pedestals on front deck and front live well too. Camo and painted versions. Check em out www.g3boats.com/sportsman-17-pfx-camo

[@michaelwilburn5258]

Great video, I seem to drift backwards in my 18’ Nitro Bass Boat when trolling at any speed from 1-2 mph. I always have to turn the speed up to 2.5-3 mph to move forward. I have the power pole and drift pads but I haven tried them yet. I hope it helps. Where did you get your rod storage rack?

[@martychrisenberry408]

I've tried it! I like the idea of it but,I can't stand not feeling the THUMP!! Lol

[@marshalldavis4926]

never tried, will some day maybe

[@msyoung76cj7]

Awesome show! Was this filmed in 2018 or another year? Keep up the good work!

[@g3sportsman]

That was March 10 2018! Fresh!

[@msyoung76cj7]

Very fresh!!!

[@OutkastAdventures]

Awesome video bro!! Hoping our channel gets to your level someday!

[@michaelwilburn5258]

Nice video, what’s your thought on pole length and position if your rods are different length?

[@g3sportsman]

I’d go with shortest on inside to longest on outside to give the greatest coverage

[@barrelslime]

Just curious, what ever happened to your net??? LOL

[@g3sportsman]

Lol. I keep it in my boat at times now! That was pretty funny

[@barrelslime]

Looks like a G# come back????

[@g3sportsman]

Maybe not a comeback. Let’s call it an appearance

[@mattwatson6597]

thanks

[@Alex-ui8xp]

how do i make fishing more boomer lazy?

[@dougkahl8901]

So put a tape measure to your b&m Buck poles I have three of them none of them measure to what they say they are by 4 to 5 in I called bucks talk to their people they do not care about customer service and come up with every excuse possible why their poles are short and they seem okay with it will never use their product again
